Richard Buxton, head of UK equities at Merian Global Investors, talks to Sam Shaw about his sadness that global investors and pension funds appear to have largely abandoned the domestic market.
He says this has increased the volatility of share price reactions to political and corporate news: “In the old days, shares may have reacted 2-3% to a company announcement, but now it’s 15-20%”.
However, he believes that this volatility is creating tremendous value opportunities for UK stockpickers such as himself.
Other topics covered include his journey in launching Merian, as well singling out some of the big stocks he’s backing. A video version of the interview is available here.
